Religious life

USF has on-campus faith communities available through the Religious and Spiritual Life at USF. If you do not see an on-campus Religious and Spiritual Life association that aligns with your beliefs, you can establish one.

USF does have private facilities for prayer, meditation, and relaxation called "Serenity Rooms". On the Tampa campus, you can find private spaces at the Marshall Student Center (MSC) on the third floor and another at the WELL facility in the Medical Services district.

Several off-campus options are available to the USF community as well. If you do not see a community that aligns with your beliefs, you can inquire with Alex Iler on how to find one so that we can add it to our growing list.
